Redefining All Theories of Time and Space












 

“Theme and Variations” 

Choreography by George Balanchine

Score by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

The pristine grandeur of 19th century classical ballet is brought to life and reinvented by one of the masters of 20th century dance.


“There, Below”

Choreography by James Kudelka

Score by Ralph Vaughan Williams

James Kudelka merges the tradition of classical ballet with modern movement to invoke visceral images of spirituality and the afterlife.


“Amade”

Choreography by Massimiliano Volpini

Score by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Created for Tulsa Ballet in the spring of 2008, Amade is a vibrant tribute to the musical legacy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, titled after the name he used when he signed his letters in Italian and dedicated to his love for Italy.
